Alexis laughed at the scare:"I thought you were still sleeping!""That gets even weirder!" He opened his beautiful eyes and looked at her. " Do you have the habit of staring at your lovers while they sleep?She then admired his eyes, which that morning were particularly intense gray:"I'm not the type of woman who takes lovers!" – she retorted, amused, finding that sentence strange. – In fact, before I met you, I was practically a virgin!"So I misguided you?" He propped himself up on one elbow to face her. – Look at my sorry face! A lazy, sensual smile played on her lips." Hmm, I don't regret anything either!"" What time is it? He laid a hand on her belly, stroking.“A little after six in the morning."And what time do you need to be at work?"" At nine...Soon he positioned his big body over hers:"Then I guess we have time for one more joke...""Mr. Insatiable!" She smiled, biting her strong, well"defined chin. – We have to get the house in order! " he whimpered.“About that, do
“I can't stop thinking about our Sunday! The memory of your mouth on my body..."Alexis felt her face heat up and didn't dare raise her head, so they wouldn't see. I knew I was as red as a tomato!“I almost go into ecstasy just thinking about it!” the message continued.She quickly replied:"The pleasure was all mine! And we can always repeat, Mr. Marcus!”Seconds later, the cell phone announced a new message:“That's what I like about you, Alexis Morgan! Always resolute!”“For you, always!” he replied.“I think I'm crazy about you, Alexis! I can barely concentrate on work, remembering the delicious feeling of being inside you!”She shivered as she read those words, biting her lip. Yes, that sensation was delicious for her too.“Well, fitting in with you is becoming an obsession for me too. Not that I'm complaining!"“Delicious obsession! I'll try to let you work, Morgan. See you at night! Looking forward to you!”Her smile became less radiant as she remembered what she was up against
“Wow, this place is spectacular, don't you think? " It was Ashley who said, holding her hand on the table." Sorry what? He looked at his companion.Having averted his gaze, he failed to notice Alexis's frown, seeing those hands resting in his." Better disguise a little, my friend! " Norah warned her softly. " That death glare you're giving Ethan's table, it's very obvious!Alexis looked away, reluctantly:" It is difficult...“But take comfort in the fact that you're not the only one. – the friend discreetly pointed to Amanda Shepherd's table, who didn't even disguise her deadly gaze towards Ethan.“At least I understand what she's feeling.That table was reserved for the Charms of Landscaping and Gardening, and soon the company colleagues arrived. It was Emma, George and amusing Matt. This one was a joker, he could make fun of any situation. He should expose his current one, because who knows, maybe he could find a way to amuse her, given that.No, there was no way to cheer up in t
Alexis was very surprised! That tone Shepherd used... Almost begging, she'd never dreamed of hearing that! Another Ethan Marcus effect, she thought, just before running off the runway!Hurriedly, he passed the table where his friends were:“Norah, I'm leaving." Why? Now that we were having fun!The truth was, Alexis was desperate to get out of there before Ethan left Amanda in the middle of the room and went after her."I'm tired, that's all!" She indicated the couple on the runway to her friend, who immediately understood."I'll accompany you!" Matt offered, getting to his feet.“No need, Matt! Stay!" I make a point! – he took the last sip of his champagne and offered her his arm. " We share the taxi.Alexis just hoped that Ethan didn't see the scene... he didn't even risk looking! With no other way out, he accepted the outstretched arm and left the place.It took a lot of flexibility to dissuade his friend from going upstairs for a last drink. She was firm but polite. The boy's in
There was no better place in the world than in the arms of Ethan Marcus! "Looks like we've passed our first trial by fire!" " he said, minutes later, in a breathless way, next to her hair. Alexis couldn't help but laugh in frustration, her head resting on his chest, listening to his heartbeat: "And it looks like we're pretty scorched, don't we?" “But I think we've learned a lesson from all this. Ethan muttered. He rocked her body gently. "And what was it?" "That we can't go to the same places while we're in this crazy relationship!" Because it's obvious that I get possessive... "And I'm mad with jealousy!" " But you look beautiful, enraged! "You haven't seen me in a rage yet, Mister Marcus!" And one other thing I realized today: I didn't know you preferred blondes! " teased. Ethan chuckled, relieved by the tone in her voice that indicated the argument was over. He grabbed her pajama collar: "My kind of woman, Miss Morgan," he pulled her so that her mouth was millimeters fro
Just over half an hour later, already outside the building, he took the cell phone and did what he most wanted at that moment:“Ethan? – I needed to hear the voice!" Hello, my angel! – she could feel his smile on the other side." Where are you? He tried hard not to let his mood show."Still in my office." Why?"Can you meet me at your apartment?""I thought you were having lunch with Amanda." – he looked intrigued.Before receiving a big client, the boss, and she worked every second possible to guarantee a good presentation. She had told him that she would have lunch with the other one, as it was customary. But that day she had been dismissed."Ah... We had a change of plans." You can go?" Clear! Alexis, is everything okay? – he sounded worried.She had to clear her throat to speak."I'd rather speak in person..." OK! I am on my way.Alexis took a taxi and in less than five minutes was in front of his apartment. He opened the big gate and went upstairs, waiting by the apartment do
The rest of the afternoon was torture! She had sworn to herself not to cry, but that lump was stuck in her throat.She didn't even have to say anything to Norah, because as soon as they were reunited after lunch, her friend just ran her eyes over her downcast face and realized what had happened!Grimacing in displeasure, he hugged Alexis tightly. It was very difficult for tears not to run down her face! It cost her a superhuman effort, but she would never shed a tear, even more so there, running the risk of being seen by the Cobra"Mor!"I'm sorry, honey, but we knew this could happen, didn't we?" At last"” She walked away to gesture to the other's room. – we are talking about that repressed one!" Yes, and I was very naive to keep hopes!“No, that's not it! You must have been completely sure of yourself, because your project is the most perfect I've seen in recent times, in this company! It must have cost a lot for the figure over there to admit that you can be better than she!" I do
Soon he heard the box being opened and a firm, large and naked body was glued to his back. His powerful and welcome erection teased, just above his ass:" I was beginning to feel alone in the room. he murmured, sliding a hand over her belly to his mouth at her ear. " And I thought we could save water by taking a shower together.Alexis turned in his arms and wrapped his arms around his neck:"What took you so long?"The night was cool, so Alexis opted for jeans, a black sweatshirt, and sneakers. As I wore this one, I admired Ethan getting dressed too. Currently, he was tucking himself into his pants.He was so handsome, strong, defined arms, muscular chest, covered in soft, black down that ran down his worked abdomen, disappearing under the waistband of his jeans, where heaven was."Admiring the view, Morgan?" – he would catch her eye and smile in a slightly embarrassed way, which she loved.Alexis laughed, looking down for a moment, knowing she was blushing. It didn't even look like
Seven years later...“Noah! – Alexis called from the kitchen. "Don't try to trick me, young man!" I know you're awake! She smiled and shook her head.Soon her little boy, dark, with beautiful and expressive blue eyes and curly hair, appeared. He was the exact copy of his father. Even the heterochromia in his left eye he had. He came with his arms hanging by his sides, dragging his feet and his head down. It was the picture of defeat. But it didn't move her. Every day was the same. And he looked gorgeous in his Buzz Light"year pajamas ..." Mom, why do I have to go to school today? – he retorted. " It's too early, it's raining, it's cold, and I'm still sleepy...“Noah! She grabbed him by the collar of his blouse, leaning down and showering him with kisses, from his rosy cheeks to his neck, where she knew he tickled. " Stop being lazy, boy!" Stop, mother !" – he scolded, squirming to get rid of her hands, while trying to hide his laughter and keep an angry face.With one last kiss on h
She nodded in agreement, seeking support in her husband's arms, she braced herself." Now. Come on, it's almost there, Alexis... " encouraged the doctor.Ethan was all agony. He hugged the woman's hard body, holding her tight and praying to heaven that it would all be over soon." Ready! – the doctor exclaimed. – A perfect baby… And with great lungs!And then they heard the little one's desperate cry. And Noah was in the world. Alexis collapsed onto the bed, smiling, her body completely given over to exhaustion now.Ethan, as soon as she was seated, went searching for his little treasure.When his eyes landed on that tiny creature that was now wrapped in a towel by the nurse, he could never put into words what he felt at that moment. It was a feeling that everything in life finally made sense. That everything was complete! And that his love for that tiny piece of people was so immense, so intense, that he would give his life for him, without even blinking.Without realizing it, he had
Alexis sighed and stroked her enormous, nearly nine"month"old belly. As usual, he couldn't help but smile. She could not even believe that she would soon meet her already very beloved son! And thank heavens for having the smoothest of pregnancies. A little nausea or other, but nothing that bothered her too much. Now that she was heading for the final stretch, she was feeling more uncomfortable, her legs more tired, her back that wouldn't let her sleep, or sit, or walk, but still, nothing could take the smile off her face. I was delighted! And seeing the happiness of her beautiful husband, every time he looked at her or caressed her belly and talked to her little one... She asked herself if she deserved so many blessings!Ethan insisted, as did Godmother Norah, that she stay home and rest, but she just couldn't sit still. Like now, when they finished an arrangement that would be delivered the next day, and they were already closing the office. When she felt that her body was asking for
But I knew something was missing. Even though her adoring husband didn't push her, it was no secret how much he wanted a baby. Alexis also avoided talking about this subject, as he was still too afraid to go through that situation again. But every time she saw how much love he treated his little godson, son of Eric and Eileen, the more her heart sank.So, a few weeks ago, without telling him, she had stopped taking the contraceptive… And then came the main gift she planned to give him.Grasping the handle, Alexis bit her lip and slowly opened the door.Ethan looked up at her as she walked in and leaned against the closed door, hands deep in his coat pockets. With that so beautiful, sensual and beloved sexy smile in the corner of his lips, he examined her completely and slowly:"Hmm... Especially... And those red shoes..." His pretty white teeth showed as he widened his smile. "Can I take my clothes off now?"Alexis bit her lip again, throwing her head back, in a short sensual laugh, s
" Excellent! " and headed for the stairs. "Because all I want is to take care of you!" You must be exhausted! " already in the bedroom, he placed it carefully on the sheets. "You've had a surgical procedure, you shouldn't be walking around!" He feigned an angry expression as he freed her from her shoes.Alexis laughed and stretched out her arms, beckoning him with her hands:" It's because I needed to see you today!Ethan also quickly got rid of his shoes and went to her side:" All you had to do was call me, and I'd be back on my own axis, to you!They stared at each other for a long moment, as if memorizing each other's faces. Arms wrapped around each other, bodies very close together. As if they were one." I love you! Alexis whispered, lost in his blue eyes. "And I would give anything to be able to make love to you…" She nibbled lightly on his lip.Ethan closed his eyes, holding a sigh in his chest.“What's a few weeks? " he himself seemed not to feel firmness in his words. "And t
'It wasn't your fault, Alexis!' Ethan stated, exasperated to see her in that state, reaching for his hand. “It was natural. The doctor told me..."But I rejected him one day!" " she interrupted him, excited, fleeing contact. "And God punished me by taking him away from me!" And I'm sorry if I let you down... " he added in a thin voice, lowering his head."You didn't let me down!" He softened, this time clasping her hands in his."But you wanted this baby so badly!" She looked at him, dejected."Yes, but that wasn't in your hands!"Alexis raised her teary eyes to him. They looked desperate, anxious. And then the words came out:"Ethan, I love you!" So much! His voice was serious. " You have become the reason for my life! But even feeling this way and feeling this way,” she subtly released her hand from his. "I can't impose myself on you...Wow! What was going on there? Alexis Morgan had just confessed that she loved him? Ethan was stunned for a moment. He couldn't believe his ears!But
Ethan turned as Norah returned to the living room. But even without the other saying anything, she knew the answer and sighed."You know her, don't you, my friend?" " lamented the brunette."How is she, Norah?"“In a deplorable state, Ethan! Of all the blows she's taken in the last few days, I believe this was by far the biggest blow.Ethan collapsed on the couch:"She was so happy lately!" This is all very unfair! he whispered, anguished. "I need to see her!"“Better not, Ethan!“Damn it, it's my wife, Norah! I have to be by her side now!"I don't think she wants you to see her the way she is, Ethan!" She is really devastated. Give her a break, buddy!He looked at Norah, his blue eyes even more intense. Then he let his shoulders tense and rested his head in his hands."I've never felt so helpless before!" I do not know what to do...The brunette sat next to him, caressing his shoulder:"You'll come out of this situation stronger, Ethan!"" It will be? I don't really believe in it...
“She… how did she react, Norah?”“You're in shock, Ethan. She just didn't react. It went into automatic mode after I found out what happened. He let them do what they wanted, no questions asked. And I don't know if that's a good thing, Ethan!" Can I see her? He indicated the door."He's asleep, but I am not convinced that's a problem."He put his hand on the doorknob, but stopped himself, taking several deep breaths. Then he straightened up and turned the piece of metal, very slowly."Norah, can you call the doctor, please?" – the brunette asked softly. "I'd like to speak with him."" Yes, of course…Ethan walked in and closed the door, carefully so as not to make any noise. The room was in shadow. Everything very silent. But he could see Alexis's silhouette, huddled in the middle of the white sheets. She looked so small in that bed!What the hell! Your Alexis… your baby! He covered his mouth and nose to stifle an agonized scream. It would have to be strong! He repeated to himself. F
" The baby? Ethan's question was asked very quietly, as if he already knew and didn't want to hear the answer.The woman shook her head slightly in the negative." Oh God! he gasped, as if he'd taken a powerful blow to the stomach.Then he would bend over, bringing his hands above his knees, as if gasping for air.“I'm so sorry, Ethan! " Norah came to hug him, no longer holding back her tears." My God! " he was too agitated to be able to stay in a hug, so he accepted the touch quickly and pulled away, studying his friend's features. " And Alexis? She is fine?“He's sleeping now. They had to do a curettage, I think that's the name. She's sedated now.“She… how did she react, Norah?”“You're in shock, Ethan. She just didn't react. It went into automatic mode after I found out what happened. He let them do what they wanted, no questions asked. And I don't know if that's a good thing, Ethan!" Can I see her? He indicated the door."He's asleep, but I am not convinced that's a problem."H
